A 19-year-old Northwest Missouri State University student from Blue Springs has been charged with two counts of making a terrorist threat.
Nodaway County Prosecutor Robert Rice on Thursday filed one misdemeanor and one felony count against Connor Stottlemyre, a freshman at the school in Maryville.
He's accused of posting a threat on the Yik Yak social media app that read, "I'm gonna shoot any black people tomorrow, so be ready." He was arrested Wednesday in his dormitory.
University spokesman Mark Hornickel said Thursday it wasn't immediately clear whether Stottlemyre would face any school disciplinary action.
A 19-year-old student at the University of Missouri system's Rolla campus is accused of posting threats against black students and faculty on the Columbia campus. He is due to appear in court Thursday afternoon.
